"Tottenham" players did everything on Thursday evening to keep the maximum intrigue until the end of the season for a place in the top four and a ticket to the Champions League. In the North London derby, "Tottenham" crushed the "Arsenal" team 3-0. Sparks flew between the "Gunners" defender Rob Holding and the "Spurs" forward Heung-min Son from the very first minutes of the match. Players played on the edge of a yellow card several times. The "Arsenal" players started the first minutes of the match more actively, but in the 22nd minute Son provoked a penalty, which Harry Kane easily converted. In the 33rd minute, R. Holding received his second yellow card and was sent off after elbowing Son in the face. H. Kane doubled the score in the 37th minute. The Englishman found himself at the far post during a corner, where the ball fell after R. Bentancur's shot. At the beginning of the second half, Son scored his goal. The Korean's goal killed the intrigue in the match and gave the "Tottenham" team crucial points. After these matches, there is only a 1-point difference in the standings between the main competitors for the fourth place and the North London neighbors.
